shmread() on tied buffer calls FETCH for no reason #22898

Description

If you shmread into a tied buffer, perl calls not just STORE to store the result (as expected), but also FETCH. This makes no sense because shmread is conceptually an assignment to the buffer variable: it overwrites the contents and does not care about the previous value.

Steps to Reproduce

use warnings;
use strict;
use IPC::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE IPC_RMID S_IRUSR S_IWUSR); 

{
    package Wronly;

    sub TIESCALAR { bless {}, $_[0] }
    sub STORE { print qq("storing" $_[1]\n); }
    sub FETCH { die "FETCH not supported"; }
}

my $key = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, 123, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR) // die "shmget(): $!"; 
END {
    shmctl($key, IPC_RMID, 0) // warn "shmctl($key, IPC_RMID, 0): $!"
        if defined $key;
}

my $msg = "Hello!";
shmwrite($key, $msg, 0, length $msg) or die "shmwrite(): $!";

tie my $fake_buf, 'Wronly';
shmread($key, $fake_buf, 0, length $msg) or die "shmread(): $!"; 

Output:

FETCH not supported at try.pl line 10.

Expected behavior

"storing" Hello!
